Place for things which are bugs but we have no idea how to solve them. Things related to hardware, libraries, strange setups, etc.

Hmmm
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44436 also crashes in _mesa_ReadPixels, but it's a dupe of the next one
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37871 This one was introduced in 2011 and fixed one month ago
The later one mentions memory fragmentation playing a big role, which appears to mirror my observation

Those libraries are not willing to cross-compile and produce 32-bit code :(
So I can't even test the patch, unless factorio goes 64bit. *hint* *hint*

In 0.5 I have been getting the SIGBUS on quitting, not on loading so far (2 start attempts -> insufficient data set size)
Unfortunately the on-quit SIGBUS prevents the game from saving the configuration.

So far, there were no crashes on loading. They all happened (at the same rate) at quitting.
Fortunately there was one non-crashing quit, so I am not bothered by the updater anymore.

Thanks for the moving the issue somewhere, where it does not matter that much. I can finally play when I choose so.

So far I got it 100%-crashfree on startup.

The SIGBUS happens at the shutdown, where it doesn't matter that much.

I think this bug is in the 1 / 0 magic for a good reason :D
